I just received the email notification, thought i'd post it here, and not submit it as news, seeing as it's not been ported yet.
if an admin feels differently, then their work is half done.

Hi everyone,

phpBB Group announces the release of phpBB 2.0.12. This release
addresses a couple of potential exploits and fixes a number of issues
involving path disclosures, etc. It also introduces a new ACP based
version check (language package maintainers please note the
additional localisation required for this). For further information
please see our announcements forum at [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
[ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

As with all new releases we urge you to upgrade as soon as possible.
You can of course find this download available on our website at:
[ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

As per usual three packages are available to simplify your upgrade.
Upgrade information using the mod template should be available
shortly (for those who prefer this method).

Much thanks Telli, and no sooner....

Hi everyone,
phpBB Group announces the release of phpBB 2.0.13. This release
addresses two recent security exploits, one of them critical. They
were reported a few days after .12 was released and no one is more
annoyed than us, having to release a new version in such a short
period of time.
Fortunately both fixes are easy and in each case just one line needs
to be edited.
The first issue is critical and we urge you to fix it on your forums
as soon as possible:
Open includes/sessions.php
Find:

if( $sessiondata['autologinid'] == $auto_login_key )

Replace with:

if( $sessiondata['autologinid'] === $auto_login_key )

The second minor issue, reported to bugtraq several days ago, was the
path disclosure bug in viewtopic.php.

A second minor issue reported to bugtraq several days ago was the path disclosure bug in viewtopic.php which got fixed by applying the following steps:

Open viewtopic.php

Find:

$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "preg_replace('#\b(" . $highlight_match . ")\b#i', '<span style=\"color:#" . $theme['fontcolor3'] . "\"><b>\\\\1</b></span>', '\\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));

Replace with:

$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "@preg_replace('#\b(" . $highlight_match . ")\b#i', '<span style=\"color:#" . $theme['fontcolor3'] . "\"><b>\\\\1</b></span>', '\\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1)); 



For further information on how
to manually fix this bug please see our announcements forum at [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
As with all new releases we urge you to upgrade as soon as possible.
You can of course find this download available on our website at: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

I haven't even checked if this is phpnuke compliant, but it looks to be.
at least this one is a simple code change.
